About Me

My name's Edd, and I suppose I'll start by saying I love modding Oblivion! I live in Stafford, England, and my main interests include pretty much anything creative, mostly in computer form, such as modding, web design, animation, programming etc, and then theres my non-electrical hobbies such as playing guitar, singing and songwriting and stuff. Once I'm done at college I'm taking a gap year, and then I'll be studying computer games design at university for 5 years.

What I've done

Forgotten Tomb

This was my first Oblivion mod. I didn't want to mod until I'd finished the game so as not to spoil things, so I blitzed the game and then got to work straight away. It was basically a short dungeon/quest mod that introduced a nice story for the player to follow with some new traps and a large area for an end boss. I've had all round good feedback from this, and I'm really happy about it because it's the first internet released mod I've ever done (I modded Morrowind for my own personal joys but didn't feel like anything was worth sharing).

You can download it from TESSource. Screenshots:

What I'm doing

Temple Justice

For my final major project at college, I've been given permission to create an Oblivion mod. What this means is that instead of college hindering my progress with modding, it's actually helping. I did some tests a while back with various things, and made a few videos which are all quite old now. Thanks to various people on the official forums for giving me help here and there for different things, such as mrflippy with scripting help on the trap spells I made, and CuteUnit when I was getting irritated with glow maps for something else.

Videos of completed trap spells:

• Conjure Paralysis Crystal
• Conjure Spike Trap
• Conjure Daedric Turret Bugs in this video have since been fixed

Testing videos from my easter break:

• Testing Grounds 1
• Testing Grounds 2
• Custom Mesh Test

I finally made a WIP thread about Temple Justice, which is here, but to be honest I can't stand the modding forum, it moves too fast for anyone to see anything, I stay on the Construction Set forums.

So, yeah, Temple Justice. Temple Justice is a pretty big mod, set in a new dimension called Aequitas. The locals are perfectly happy there, but a great temple casts a shadow across the land. This temple was once sealed away, but now it's time for you to open the doors once more, and fight the evil inside.

There's quite a fair bit to do, new meshes, voice acting, a whole new story plus sidequests, all that sort of stuff. There's a trailer for it here which I'm quite happy with. It should be doon pretty soon, and I can't wait to release it.

What I'd like to do

Depending on how successful my current project turns out to be, and depending on if we ever get an official exporter, depends on what I do next really. I'm taking a gap year because I need to work and save up lots of money for lots of stuff I want befoer I go to university (for a 5 year masters degree in computer games design). I did want to make a western TC, but wether I will or not is debatable. I might look into modding Half Life 2 (so I have a more varied portfolio), or I might make an animated movie (because as much as I love games, it gets a little irritating with issues like the official exporter, limitations of the CS, etc).

Adios
